Chapter 476 Cao 3
Madam Cao, who works in Wuyuan, has a very happy life and feels a great sense of accomplishment every day.
On the other side, the Cao family was not so peaceful.
After Cao San and Cao Niangzi met once, everything started to feel uncomfortable for them.
I originally thought that robbing her of her marriage would mean robbing her of everything, but it turned out that she was already an official of a high rank.
No matter how small the grade is, it belongs to her.
And the man Cao San married was just the nth son of someone's family. It sounds good to say that she came from a wealthy family, but it was because of the family's power, not because the person she married was outstanding.
If this glory is transferred to her, how much will be left?
After returning home, he stayed in his room and refused to go out.
She couldn't give up all this and follow Madam Cao's example. She had paid too much to build her current status.
The whole person is neither up nor down.
Originally, she should have endured the wedding with a depressed mood, and the confusion of that day would have disappeared like a passing cloud.
But the problem lies in the preparation of the dowry.
She married into the same family, but her dowry was 30% smaller than what Madam Cao had prepared before.
Faced with this situation, the cousin-in-law who was in charge smiled and said, "There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. I am sorry for wronging my sister."
The third lady got angry on the spot.
"What's the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children? That's the distinction between male heirs and female heirs. What does it have to do with female heirs?"
"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm a fool?"
It was originally a sister-in-law relationship for the sake of face, but the third lady started to make a fuss.
Mrs. Cao was disheartened by her daughter's expulsion. She claimed to be seriously ill and didn't care about the matter at all.
The two of them went before Minister Cao to make a fuss.
The third lady said bluntly: "The money comes from our family, what does it have to do with her? She saved this money because she wanted to inherit more in the future..."
"You're not even dead yet! They're already coveting your property!"
Minister Cao also knew what they were up to and said, "It must be your sister-in-law who made a mistake. I will make it up to you later."
But Sanniang is not satisfied now.
"Father, why should the bulk of our family property be given to my cousin? Even if it is still the case that women cannot be officials, you can just give him a place in the Hongwen Academy and some protection."
"Why should we give him the property and shops? They can be used as dowries for our sisters."
"Now women can be officials, why do you care about this outsider?"
When the young lady found out that her husband's inheritance was also involved, she immediately became anxious.
Minister Cao also shouted, "Shut up! What are you talking about!"
Seeing that he was still defending his cousin, Sanniang burst into tears.
She was a thoughtful person. In the past, she wanted to have the same status as her elder sister, but she was busy with the struggles in the harem and neglected many things.
Now I am satisfied and gradually understand that woman's thoughts.
It was obvious that the cousin and his wife were unwilling to be their support, and they would not be able to survive in their next life by relying on them.
Without a strong backing from their mother’s family, how stable their foothold in the harem can they be?
Haven’t we seen many tragedies in these years?
As her wedding date approached, she became more and more anxious. The third lady was provoked and could not hold back any longer. She complained, "I finally know why my sister betrayed the family. It's all because of you!"
"People like you who can't tell the difference between inside and outside, and who don't know who's closest to you, deserve to be torn apart by your family and abandoned by your friends!"
"presumptuous!"
Minister Cao yelled and slapped her.
Sanniang covered her face. She should have been afraid, but her interests were being eroded bit by bit. She had already anticipated that no one would be reliable in the future. What else was there to be afraid of?
"What's wrong with being so presumptuous? Isn't what I said the truth?!"
"Then you can kick me out too! You have many daughters anyway, let's see how long I can keep you out!"
"I'm telling you, you just don't have a son. You'll never have a son in this life!"
